Chokh je oder chhute chale go -
Dhaaner baate, maaner baate, ruper baate, dale dale go.
Dekhbe bole korechhe pan,    dekhbe kaare jaane na mon -
Premer dekha dekhe jakhon   chokh bhese jaay chokher jale go.
Aamai tora daakis na re -
Aami jabo kheyar ghaate arup-raser paarabare.
Udaas haawa laage paale, paarer paane jaabar kaale
Chokhdutore dubiye jaabo akul sudha-saagor tale go.
